Baringo Senator Gideon has addressed allegations that he supports  Pokot bandits causing insecurity in Baringo County.

According to Moi, he has no ties to the rustlers and he does not support them at all.

He said he “has never and will never become a cattle rustler” adding that he cannot be a supporter of insecurity acts.

The KANU chairman called on the warring Pokot, Ilchamus, Tugen, Marakwet and Turkana pastoral communities to stop armed raids and live in peace.

Since last year, bandit attacks have been rampant in the Kerio valley region, something that has led to loss of lives and displacement of people.

The government has resolved to deploying KDF officers in the region to restore peace.
